Mixing of memory of various size is supported. You need to ensure DIMM on both CPU have same configuration and all channels will have identical configuration.
You can refer below links with more details on memory population guideleins.

R710 initially supported max of 8GB DIMM and 16GB DIMM support for R710 is added later. So it is recommended to have latest BIOS and iDRAC FW installed on the server before upgrading memory.
